Last July I wrote you all about my plans to retire in the summer of 2008. That time has come -- June 30 will be my last day as president of Ithaca College.

As I leave this rewarding position, I want to thank you all for the work we did together to advance the mission of IC. I am proud of what we have accomplished over these 11 years, and will be forever grateful for your "commitment to excellence." I will miss you and this wonderful place.

Leadership is the art of getting extraordinary performance from ordinary people, and I believe our President has done just that. Thank you, Peggy, for serving us with excellence. Be well, play hard, and keep in touch.

Peggy - thank you for your outstanding years of service. I have always appreciated your candor, compassionate pragmatism, and support in terms of dealing with students and alcohol on campus. Wishing you all the best.

Thank you, President Williams, for your support of all the students across this great campus. In particluar, thank you for your work in making diversity and inclusion a college priority and for your support of the ALANA community. You will be deeply missed.

It has been an honor to have been influenced by your dedication, compassion
and sincerity. I loved the fact that I would see you unexpectedly in random
places throughout the college -to me that was the sign of an involved leader. I
wish you the best in your future plans. Thank you for all you have done for the
college.
